Sure, here’s my take on it:
—
So, big news, folks. Nintendo just dropped a bomb—okay, not a real bomb, but like, a new update—on their Nintendo Switch users worldwide. Yeah, version 20.0.0 is here, and I’m still wondering if anyone ever saw it coming. You didn’t, did you? Me neither.
Anyway, what’s fresh in this update, you ask? We’ve got things like Virtual Game Card and this thing called GameShare. There’s also User-Verification Settings, Online License Settings, and some fancy System Transfer to the Nintendo Switch 2. Does it even get better than this? Maybe. Or not.
Right, let me try to unpack these patch notes without getting totally distracted. But no promises.
First up, Virtual Game Card. Think of it like—okay, maybe it’s like trying to categorize all those digital games and DLCs you bought. There’s a menu now, displaying them like a neat little collection. You can swap these virtual cards between two systems, something like swapping old baseball cards but, you know, digital. Want to share these with your fam group? Sure, go nuts. There’s a guide if you need it.
Then there’s GameShare. Imagine playing with other folk without needing separate copies of a game. Pretty cool, right? But—there’s always a but—you can only do this locally with a Nintendo Switch 2 initiating things. So don’t get too excited if you’ve just got the older models.
Oh, and about User-Verification Settings. Basically, now you can add a PIN to keep the Virtual Game Card menu from accidental clicks or curious little hands.
What is Online License Settings, you ask? It lets you use downloaded stuff while online, even without that virtual card. Sure, makes total sense. Maybe. You’ll find more confusing, I mean, detailed info in System Settings.
They’ve also changed the colors of some icons on the Home Menu. Because who doesn’t love a bit of fresh color? And okay, transferring multiple save data in one go? Finally.
Let’s talk about System Transfer to the Nintendo Switch 2. It’s like upgrading apartments but you can do it via local communication or some fancy server option. But a friendly warning: only do the server thing if you’re ready for your old Switch to be wiped clean. Imagine a new beginning, or a disaster—it’s all about perspective.
And in random news, user icons got a makeover. Yay for those tiny changes that you might not even notice.
By the way, the “Primary Console” term is out, and “Pass-enabled console” is in. It’s like calling cats “feline companions” now. On this new console, you, and anyone else really, can access some subscriptions. Fascinating, I know.
Honestly, for more brain-tickling details, you’d probably want to check the Nintendo website. Because I didn’t have any popcorn left to get through all of it. Till the next surprise update—or existential crisis—let’s pretend we understand all of this.

There you go! Keep it messy and human, that’s the aim!
